It’s beating the Calder, fair and square.

@unitof It's art!

@unitof The Force is strong in this one.

@unitof oh now I suddenly miss the “art or not” bot. Definitely art, obvs. What a fascinating essay on art and audience this could be.

@unitof @[email protected] "my work's been exhibited in the MoMA" 😌

@unitof that's going to look great on his college applications

@unitof I feel like the artists who get featured in the MoMA would love this actually

@unitof reminds me of when i bought one of those sticky gummy eggs you can slap against the wall and itll stick like a fried egg from a vendor in times square for two bucks, then whapped it against the wall in the moma, then watched from a safe distance and counted the number of tourists taking pics of it

@unitof I actually think Harry Bertoia would approve.

@unitof As they should.

@unitof that is so ridiculous that it’s brilliant.

@unitof proof art is subjective 😂

@unitof This is clearly a found-object comment on the vapid tinfoil consumerism of the fortnight-born, at once a light-hearted exposé of the emptiness at play within virtual worlds, while also a very serious promulgation against the monetisation of childhood fantasy into bite-sized loot boxes… or umm…
they’re just having a laugh trying to annoy their parents 🤣

@unitof It's strangely visually satisfying, I have to say!

@unitof
"The birds of feather, all the phonies and all of the fakes
While the dealers they get together
And they decide who gets the breaks
And who's gonna be
Oh yeah, who's gonna be
In the gallery
In the gallery"

@unitof Once at an art auction, I put a bidding sheet next to a dirty fork on the floor and it sold for $50. Art is in the eye of the beholder.

@unitof you know, I genuinely kinda like it. Art's weird.

@unitof it is art!

@unitof this tells me about a child who was exposed to art and used the materials available to make an aestheticly pleasing sculpture. I feel the latte and hot chocolate,the air and expectation, the tension of the parents resisting the urge to scream "George, put that down!"

@unitof By placing the chairs in a manner they are not usually placed, the artist asks an uncomfortable question, are we so bound by societal norms that we cannot conceive of chairs placed in a pile as being something beautiful?

@unitof All the modern art jokes that come to mind, sadly.

@unitof
Art is where you find it - or make it.

@unitof It's pretty good though...

@unitof art can happen anywhere! chair art.

@unitof Well yeah. It's brilliant
